doubt yourself as a mother?
What i mean is do you worry your not good enough or have handled a situation wrong?
If i have told one of mine off i feel really bad and worry i've delt with it the wrong way.
Also today at the park, i always have my eyes on Jack while he's playing but today i took my eyes away for a second and a woman had to tell me Jack was heading for a moving swing. He didnt get hit thank god but i feel like she must have thought i was a bad mum for not watching him.

aww yes i do feel liek that..i watch my kids like a hawk..i am very much on top of them always .. but i have 3 chikldren and its not always possible and amelie managed to get away from me in a soft play center and go up some stairs and sit in the loos.. all because someone spoke to me and i took my eyes off her for a minuit.!!
and you shouldnt worry about doing thing the wrong way ..as there isnt a right way either.. just do what u feel best x

I very much feel like that due to my mother not being in my life since age of 4... i feel ive never had no one to guide me, but over the years, have realised there is no guide book to being a mum
im sure you do what you feel is best for your kids x

I used to doubt myself all the time, I think we all do. But with Ellie I just do my best and as long as she's happy, then Im happy too! Its a hard job being a mummy! It I always used to feel that everyone else was doing a better job than me! But I now look at my older two and give myself a pat on the back as they've turned out pretty well
